This project was part of my studies on how art and creativity can improve mental health. I’ve found it
really interesting that the mind-body connection consists of a number of opposites. For example, you
can be stressed and overthink, even though your body is still, and at the same time if you move your
body, your brain can become quiet and relaxed.
I’ve decided to recreate this phenomenon in a surreal room- the only place where opposites can easily meet and interact with each other, using common everyday objects with a twist.
The room is filled with the tension created by opposite forces- stillness and movement, calmness and energy, mental and physical. It draws the viewer’s attention to the same tension contained in his being.

Inside the Room:
• white ‘chairs’- inspired by the 60-80s furniture design and based on the design principle ‘form follows function’. Their purpose is to place the body into different yoga poses
• red walls- reinforce the sense of tension
• books- relate to the brain activity
• holograms- non-physical body.
Exhibition Concept:
This is a 3D mock-up of the
surreal space converted into
an interactive exhibition. The
viewers can try the furniture
themselves, there also will be
books provided, thus being
completely immersed in the
experience. The video will be
screened on the back wall. The
furniture will be arranged in a
way that fits with the position
of the ‘chairs’ in the video,
when seen from the front.
